noob split id help

Catalpa, would be a very good call, and that is one I have zero experience with. After a little research I believe we have a winner!

Only thing is according to United States Department of Agriculture plant profiles directory Catalpa is only known in three counties of Texas all of which are far far from here. I really do appreciative everyone's thoughts and opinions of my hybrid lab tree. I do know it was a yard tree but I never seen any leaves or anything other than the rounds.

Different from what I pulled up but it shows catalpa on a dozen counties instead of 3. Only one in the panhandle but I feel this to be the most likely ID. Thanks everyone. Now to get more wood.
